I'm pretty prejudiced when it comes to Mexican food. I was raised on TexMex, long before fajitas had been put on a menu at Ninfa's in Houston. It's something only Texans understand, and those of us that take it seriously know the subleties between TexMex in Dallas, vs San Antonio, vs Austin. Mexican food is like Chinese, complex in its regional differences and its various north of the border permutations. Juanita's is a fun rollicking unpretentious restaurant with great food and service. The enchiladas are done well, the fajitas are excellent, and the tamales are good too. It's not El Fenix in Dallas, but its far superior than the slop down the street at Rio Grande.
Pros: Crab cakes, enchiladas, atmosphere
